The car slowly drove into the manor. The atmosphere inside the manor was completely different from the noisy outside. It was extremely serious inside. The endless green fields were filled with bodyguards from the Palace family and the Lancaster family. They all stood with their hands behind their backs, ready for battle.
Cars parked in front of the big villa.
A bodyguard came forward to open the car door for them. When Xiao Nian was about to get out, he was suddenly hugged by Gong Ou from behind.
Gong Ou stretched out his hand and hugged Shi Xiaonian from behind, lowered his head and buried his face in her neck.
Like a child.
Maybe at this moment, when he was about to go in and meet the Lancaster family, Gong Ou became more honest.
Shi Xiaonian sat there motionless and was held by him. Her heart seemed to be scratched by something, causing slight pain. She tilted her head.
"Dont look at me!"
Gong Ou's voice was muffled.
Shi Xiaonian held his hand, without looking back, and said gently, "Okay, I won't look at you, I'll just sit here, and you can hold him for as long as you want."
“…”
Gong Ou hugged her tightly without saying a word, burying his entire face in his neck, breathing thinly on her skin, as if this was a harbor where he could stay.
But reality is meant to be faced, and no one can escape it.
When Gong Ou got out of the car, he felt nothing strange. He stretched out his hands to straighten his sleeves, and walked towards the door with high spirits under the protection of Feng De and his bodyguards.
The conference room was spotlessly clean and spacious.
The sofas are all single-person. Lancaster's people haven't arrived yet. Shi Xiaonian sat down next to Gong Ou. Before he could sit down, a voice came, "Master Lancaster Bit has arrived."
Master Bit.
Shi Xiaonian looked at Gong Ou. Gong Ou's face darkened, and his hand holding hers tightened suddenly. She was confused, but before asking, Feng De stood behind them and said, "Bit is Mona's younger brother, and Lan Kai The most unpopular son of the Ste family has been kept in a foreign country all year round. I didn’t expect him to come to meet me this time. It would be too much of a deception.”
“…”
So that's it.
After the death of Mr. Gong, everyone knew that Gong Ou was the head of the Gong family. With Gong Ou's status, Lancaster actually sent the most unpopular son here. This was a very cruel attack.
How could Miyao bear it
Shi Xiaonian looked at Gong Ou, who let go of her hand, brushed away the coldness in his eyes, and stood up from the sofa.
At the door, several bodyguards walked in first, followed by a young man in a suit and leather shoes, who looked about 16 or 7 years old, with brown hair and blue eyes, and a childish look on his face.
"Hello, Second Young Master Gong."
The young man walked up to Gong Ou and looked at Gong Ou with contempt, his chin raised high.
Behind him stood the Lancastrian team of lawyers, all of them with contemptuous eyes and domineering looks.
"Hello Bit."
Gong Ou stretched out his hand to shake his hand expressionlessly.
The young man withdrew his hand and said, "You should respectfully call me Master Bit."
Honorific title.
Normally, Gong Ou might have kicked the young man out long ago, but now he just stood there without getting angry and said, "Hello, Master Bit."
The young man shook hands with him with satisfaction. Gong Ou's hand suddenly tightened, and the young man's face suddenly turned red. Before he could say anything, Gong Ou had already let go of his hand, "Sit down."
Bit sat on Gong Ou's right hand with a grown-up look, and said as if he was giving an endorsement, "Second Young Master Gong, I'm glad to see you. I'm still young and speak directly, so please excuse me."
Shi Xiaonian looked at Gong Ou. Gong Ou lowered his eyes, his eyes were gloomy. When he raised his head again, his eyes were full of friendship, "What do you want to say?"
"I admire the Second Young Master Gong very much. He knew he couldn't defeat our family but still provoked him several times, like the monkeys in the zoo. My father and others knew that I liked monkeys, so they asked me to come over." Bit said these words with a gesture of endorsement. Apparently someone else told him to say that, it was obvious who it was.
Hearing this, the atmosphere in the conference room dropped to freezing point.
Shi Xiaonian knew that Lancaster was here to insult them, but he didn't expect that he would be so cruel and directly compare Gong Ou to a monkey. It was even more unbearable to say this from a young man.
She sat there with her hands on her knees clenched into fists, almost wanting to stand up and speak.
However, Gong Ou just chuckled indifferently and said in a low voice, "I see that you have a hard time memorizing the book, so why not go directly to the topic and let me see what your family wants."
He didn't expect Gong Ou to speak like this. Bit was obviously stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer. Someone next to him lowered his head to remind him, and then Bit said, "Okay, let my lawyer read out my father's meaning."
After finishing speaking, an old lawyer walked to the center, opened the black folder in his hand, and began to read, "The resource development rights of Berg Island, the Gong family's three mines in South Africa, the Gong family's ownership of the royal family..."
There were no unnecessary words. When the lawyers came up, they started to ask for settlement, and they asked for it directly. They really wanted to humiliate Gong Ou in every detail.
While the lawyer was reading, the remaining people in Lancaster, including Bit, were looking at Gong Ou, wanting to see his ugly face.
But they could only see one scene when they looked over, that was Gong Ou staring at Shi Xiaonian, staring non-stop.
Lancaster wanted more than could be covered in a few pages.
Gong Ou let them talk, his handsome face was calm. After a while, he glanced back. Feng De stood there, glanced at the time, and then slightly lowered his head towards Gong Ou.
Gong Yu has already started taking action.
Lancaster must be watching the situation here, wondering if Gong Ou will agree to so many concessions. This is the best time to save people.
Shi Xiaonian sat there and raised his hand to hold Gong Ou's.
The lawyer just thought of asking Gong Ou to give up several major wineries. Gong Ou frowned. The people sent by Lancaster were all happy, but they heard Gong Ou holding Shi Xiaonian's hand and saying, "Your Why are your hands so cold? Let me cover them for you!"
“…”
Everyone was speechless.
The lawyer had no choice but to continue reading. They were not sure whether Gong Ou would agree.
"Okay, cover it for me."
Shi Xiaonian smiled and obediently asked Gong Ou to cover her hands, trying hard to make him ignore the conditions put forward by the lawyer.
Although there was nothing wrong with Gong Ou's appearance, Shi Xiaonian knew that he already wanted to take a leap.
the other side.
Gong Yu secretly sneaked into the resort in Lancaster with a large number of people. He used the advanced equipment provided by Gong Ou to eliminate some security alarms in the resort and began to look for people.
Gong Yu and two of his men jumped down from the pavilion and walked inside. The voices of other men came from the headphones.
"Young Master, there is no one in Area 1. Let's start a detailed search now."
"Young Master, there is no one in Area 2. Start searching carefully now."
"Young Master, there is no one in Area 3. Start searching carefully now."
Sentence after sentence of no one.
Gong Yu's face darkened, how could there be no one there? If Luo Lie was really imprisoned here, Lancaster understood his importance and should send many people to guard him, but now the entire villa is like an empty city.
They've been sneaking in for ten minutes and haven't seen anyone.
"Young Master, something is wrong."
One of Gong Yu's subordinates said, "The villa is too quiet, there is not even a soul."
"I know."
Gong Yu frowned and reached out to press his earphones, "Those who haven't come in yet should stay away and listen to my instructions outside."
He smelled something unusual.
Gong Yu continued to walk forward. The terrain of the villa was complicated. There were pavilions, houses, rockeries and water everywhere. It would take them half a day to walk around just one garden.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from not far away.
Gong Yu made a gesture and hid behind a pillar with two of his men. He stuck his head out and looked forward, and saw two people dressed as servants coming out of the rockery carrying dinner plates. As they walked, he said, "Another Since he hasn’t eaten, I wonder if he wants to go on a hunger strike?”
"Who knows, I have suffered a lot during the past two days since I was imprisoned, and I have suffered a lot of sins, but it seems like he doesn't care at all."
"Don't you think it's strange? A person like this who betrayed the family should have been executed long ago. Why are he still alive?"
"have no idea."
Gong Yu's eyes turned cold, and he rushed out after hearing these words. He and his men quickly subdued the two servants, pulled them to the foot of the mountain, pressed them on the rockery, and asked, "Is the person in prison Luo Luo?" strong?"
"W-who are you?"
The two servants looked at them in panic.
"Say it, or I'll kill you!" One of the men grabbed the servant's neck and said quickly when he saw the servant, "No, no, I will say it."
"explain."
Gong Yu stood there, and the ground was covered with food scraps.
"It's Dr. Luo Lie. He is locked in a dark room under the rockery." The servant said, and his men immediately knocked them out with a palm and threw them aside.
Gong Yu stood still and did not act immediately after receiving the news.
The two men walked around the rockery and found a secret door. "Young Master, we found the secret door. Let's go."
Gong Yu still didn't move, just stood there.
"Young Master? Aren't you leaving?"
The men looked at Gong Yu strangely.
"It's too quiet." Gong Yu said coldly. It was exactly the same as that night in Luo Zhai. It was too quiet. It was not right.
“…”
"It went very smoothly."
Gong Yu said that they could not see a single figure in the entire villa. The first time they saw him, they saw the servant who brought Luo Lie food. Isn't it a coincidence
"What should we do? Should we break through this secret door?"
the subordinate asked.
Gong Yu frowned, turned around and looked down at the food on the floor. He knelt down and prepared the rice that Chinese people love to eat. It was still steaming.
If it were a trap, wouldn't even this prop be too detailed
Suddenly, a panicked voice came from Gong Yu's earphones, "Young Master, it's not good, we have been discovered!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an alarm sounded throughout the villa.
The sounds of fighting came from the headphones.
"What should we do, young master? We haven't been found yet, but we have been discovered. Do you want to evacuate first?" His men looked at Gong Yu anxiously. (To be continued)
